Yes, HS was hysterical sometimes. TV was so much better back then. Nowadays if doesnt have fowl language in every sentence and something isn't blowing up and people aren't killing gruesomely and then these other people aren't taking the law into their own hands, it probably isn't on TV.

Funny! Jokes back then were a little on the corny side, I've noticed. But at least they didn't have the profanity of today. And it doesn't surprise me the responses are scripted now. I think comedians walk around with writers on full-time staff, scripting everything they say throughout the day!

This was one of my mother's favorite game shows. Paul Lynde and Charlie Weaver were two of the funniest people ever. The entire cast was great. Too bad that producers now think that celebrities can't think for themselves. But, maybe most of them can't.

Come to think of it, everything is scripted because they don't want to risk saying anything politically incorrect and offending some one. They might lose a sponsor, and we just can't have that, now can we? 🙂

Oh my God. How I loved watching that show. You could be guaranteed 30 minutes of laughter. The comedians of today only want to swear in their jokes. Oh well that's life.Have a wonderful Tuesday Sandee. See ya.

All of these brought back memories that made me guffaw (MMG?). I grew up watching this stuff and can remember all of these characters that could tell a double entendre like nobody's business and the kids in the audience were left clueless. They could tell a dirty joke without it being profane. A far jump from what we have nowadays. I miss all of those guys.
